ChargePoint has built the largest and most open EV charging network in the world with over 33,000 available charging stations. It provides a reliable, accessible and easy-to-use EV charging network that all EVs can connect to, regardless of hardware. If charging stations are not yet available in a neighborhood, ChargePoint can set up an EV charger based on a single request.

The advanced system lets drivers see station availability in real-time and directs users with GPS directions through either the mobile app or a car’s on-board navigation system.

Why you should care

Emissions from cars account for around a fifth of all CO2 emissions in USA, according to ChargePoint. The company provides drivers with the ability to plug in regardless of where they live, work, shop and play. In this way, ChargePoint hopes to be part of the solution that increases the number of electric cars on roads by fourteen times over the next ten years. So far ChargePoint drivers have saved over 74,000 tons of CO2 emissions according to the company.

HOW THE GLOBAL GOALS ARE ADDRESSED

Good health and well-being

EVs have no particulate or noxious emissions. By encouraging and facilitating their use in urban areas, air quality can be improved, lowering the risks of respiratory diseases.

Affordable and clean energy

As renewable energy continues to increase its share of electricity generation markets around the world, the electricity used to charge EVs will become increasingly cleaner.

Sustainable cities and communities

ChargePoint offer charging points for individuals, businesses and cities, helping the technology to permeate all levels of society and become more widespread.

Climate action

Over the next ten years, if all US cars were EVs powered by renewable power, the US would save 13 billion tons of CO2, according to the company.
